St. Michaels Renovated Historic Gem: Step into a turnkey, fully renovated 1890 historic home that blends timeless charm with modern luxury. Completely transformed in 2023—inside and out—this move-in-ready residence is the perfect pied-à-terre, vacation retreat, or low-maintenance full-time home. Just one block from the heart of historic St. Michaels, a vibrant waterfront town on Maryland’s Eastern Shore known for its brick-lined streets, boutique shops, award-winning dining, and lively boating scene, this property offers a rare blend of small-town warmth and upscale coastal living. The home sits just down the street from the picturesque Waterfront Town Park by San Domingo Creek, with its public dock, kayak launch, walking trail with a covered bridge, picnic areas, and playground. The town’s popular “rails-to-trails” walking and biking path passes right through, connecting you to scenic waters and the Chesapeake Bay. Inside, approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space features an open floor plan with natural light, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, with the potential for a main-level primary bedroom. The brand-new kitchen showcases Diamond® Vibe™ Series Semi-Custom Cabinetry in an elegant coconut color finish, granite countertops, and all-new stainless-steel appliances. Every detail has been updated—granite countertops on all bathrooms and kitchen, recessed lighting throughout, fresh new paint, luxury vinyl plank flooring in the foyer, dining, kitchen, laundry, and baths, electrical and plumbing systems “up to code”, new crawl space encapsulation with spray foam insulation, French drains, and dehumidifier, three Carrier multi-zone mini-splits and new furnace, all-new windows, doors, hardware, and a “lifetime” blue metal roof. Lead-Free Certification obtained from the Maryland Department of the Environment (August 8, 2023). Also, this gem is "outside of the historic restrictions" of St. Michaels which is not subject to the extra layer of review and approval from the Historic District Committee. The property includes a flat, fenced backyard with a detached shed that could serve as a studio, workshop, or hobby space. French drains also in backyard. A charming front porch and a stone patio offer perfect spots for morning coffee or evening gatherings. With its lock-and-leave convenience, and prime location near the waterfront, 204 West Chew Avenue is more than a home—it’s a gateway to the St. Michaels lifestyle.
